f) There is a small existing disturbance at the site. The current landowner has taken some <br /> material for his own use in past years. <br /> g) The site is small enough that any internal haul roads will be minimal. They would be <br /> reclaimed when the mine is closed. No new access road will be built since the landowner <br /> has one in place from Highway 59 to the site. <br /> h) No water is anticipated in conjunction with the operation. Mining will not be close to any <br /> groundwater. There could be instances when heavy rainfall makes the site too muddy to <br /> continue. At those times, mining will simply cease until the site becomes dry enough to <br /> mine again. <br /> i) Mining will not go into the groundwater at the site. A local stock well log shows that water <br /> is at least 140 feet below ground surface. <br /> j) Since no water is to be used, there should be no injury to existing water rights. <br /> k) No refuse, acid, or toxic producing materials are anticipated at the site. Other mining <br /> enterprises in this part of Kit Carson County have never yielded any such materials. <br /> 1) The finished pit will be returned to pasture land. There should be no disturbance to the <br /> hydrologic balance. <br /> m) Processing of the material is not anticipated at this site. <br /> n) The commodities to be mined are gravel, clay, and sand. <br /> o) The mined materials will primarily be used for road material or other construction projects. <br /> p) No explosives will be used in this operation. <br /> Exhibit D: Reclamation Plan <br /> The primary reclamation plan for the pit is to slope all areas at a slope no steeper than 3:1. <br /> The entire pit area will have topsoil replaced,then be returned to pasture grazing land. <br /> a) The pit area has topsoil averaging 4" in depth. That topsoil will be stockpiled and <br /> returned during the reclamation process. <br /> b) Slopes no greater than 3:1 will be left in the completed pit. <br />
